Ok patty. Being poor or working class in the United States is no picnic. I like how you rely on these absurd comparisons to stick to your talking points.

For some one who is supposedly such a patriot, why do you insist on measuring us against 3rd world countries? We are the USA. We are the best but that doesn't mean we can't do things better.

We're talking about who benefits from our society. We can compare it to some hypothetical state of nature if you want, but I think it makes more sense to compare it to other societies that actually exist.
